  1. False. You can watch any in market or nationally broadcast NFL game live with the package. Since I am in NC and the Browns-Jax game was on, as mentioned above, I watched the first 5 or 6 minutes of the Bills game on NFL plus until CBS switched over.
  2. At the end of this season, McDermott will be retained as HC and the following things will happen: 1. McDermott will hand over the DC position to someone else so that he can focus on HC. I wish it would be someone from outside the organization, but it will probably be Eric Washington. 2. Bills will replace Matthew Smiley as ST coach. 3. Joe Brady will be hired as full time OC. McDermott back. All new staff from start of this season.
  3. His record in one score games in Buffalo is 24-24 in the regular season, and 2-3 in the playoffs, which seems reasonable. But I think the concern is that in the last three years, when the Bills have supposedly had his best teams, it’s 8-14 in the regular season and 1-1 in the playoffs. You would not expect that record from a top 5 NFL team. So, either the Bills have just gotten really unlucky the last few years or something is wrong. I’m not sure the problem is McDermott necessarily, but he is in charge of figuring it out.
  4. My personal favorite is Steve Christie hitting a 41 yarder, down 2 points, at the end of regulation, in the sleet, vs Tennessee in the playoffs. Unfortunately, you know what came on the ensuing kickoff so it’s completely washed away by history. Incidentally, it seems appropriate today to remember that on that play Dehaven wanted the Bills to run another play so that they could kick the FG with the last snap of the game but was overruled by Wade Phillips in another dubious HC game management decision. So, this kind of crap is not unique to McDermott.
  5. Miami is more consistent. Maybe that means they are better coached, but they are not better talent wise. If the Bills play their "A" game, then the Dolphins can't beat them, IMO. So, you're saying there is a chance?!?
  6. What’s makes it really strange is that Bills have a money QB, which is one of the things you usually associate with teams that are good in close games. In Allen’s defense, he does leave the field with the lead a lot.
  7. I’d say Douglas and White are pretty much trade offs, but Joseph is no replacement for Jones who is far more active and, of course, there is no one even close to Milano on the roster. The defense will play hard, but it’s going to take 30+ points minimum to win that game, IMO. And even that might not be enough.
  8. They have a 0.626 win percentage, 3 division titles and 5 playoff appearances in 6 years. I think that’s the opposite of struggling.
  9. They directly cost the team the Jets game too. Smiley will be gone after the season. I doubt he’ll get a pass.
  10. The vote of confidence is practically a guarantee that a firing is forthcoming.
  11. If you list the current Bills starters, factoring in the injuries, on both sides of the ball, I don’t actually think you’d see “above average talent”. They have a top end QB, but the rest of the team is decidedly average right now, IMO.
  12. It’s a classic example of the refs not enforcing the intent of the rule. Intentional grounding is a penalty to prevent the QB from avoiding a sack by intentionally throwing the ball away (although this is ok if he’s outside the pocket for some reason, but I digress…). Allen was obviously not doing that.
  13. You joke, but I’m sure this is it. They wanted to play ball control and avoid a shootout with the Bengals, who they feared would school them in a high scoring game. It’s the usual strategy of the underdog.
  14. That Lion logo on the helmet looks like something a 5 year old would draw.
  15. Think they miss Carr yet?
  16. Lol. Nice throw by Garoppolo. Just threw it right to the safety.
  17. Reminded me of that guy from SNL that denies the most obvious things.
  18. Lol. Awesome explanation of why an obvious intentional grounding actually wasn’t one.
